I once sat in Vangelis studio while He was recording the music for Blade runner , He had just had a new "Fairlight " keyboard & I got a disapproving look for playing the theme to "Rhubarb & Custard" on it

My old singer would change the words to "No More Heroes " to who ever had died that week ..."Whatever happened to David Bowie , Purple Prince & the Great Paul Daniels " .

When I was about 14 years old, Me " You sound just like the bass player from The Stranglers, He must have been a big influence on you ".....I said that to Chris Squire well I didn't know who they were, they were just my mates uncles band .

This is what He said about the MB heads "The power supply has no current limit protection and no fuses. If a pair of output transistors goes short circuit (a common failure mode), the power supply works harder and eventually shorts out its two power transistors before the main fuse blows."

A good friend of mine does Amp repairs & He said that he would avoid MB stuff , He said they don't have a lot built in protection & has just repaired 3 in a row for a local Hire company .

a Marine leisure battery & a Inverter , I use to use these to power key cutting machines in my van .

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/305325-markbass-cl106/"]http://basschat.co.u...markbass-cl106/[/url] Nearly half the weight of the Ashdown equiv. [/quote]I've got my eye on the Ashdown CL 610 cab 42kg with proper castors not those silly little wheels built into the corner edge . & I'd probably change those to Skate board tracks as seems to becoming a good idea .

If I have the time & to be honest bothered , I use My Ashdown labs 600 to power a 4 x 8 cab & Di from that into a ABM 1000 powering a 12" cab just so I can set up different EQ for each it does sound great But I not sure how much it's noticed in a pub full of punter that have had a skin full lol .

I use to cramp up , until I realised that after unloading the van & setting up I hadn't been drinking enough , I try to have a drink of water with one of those Berocca type tablets , or just a banana before heading off .

I'll keep my 2 x 12" cabs for upstairs gigs . A mate of mine carried a Ampeg 8x10 cab up the stairs of the 100 club once , on his own lol .

Any one gig with one ? thoughts please ease of transport , sound etc It's the Ashdown I'm thinking of & I have a Van , I just like the idea rather than carrying in 2 cabs or moving a table to one cab on plus they look cool in my opinion .

My back has always gone bending over the back of the cabs plugging in/out a lead .
